cogs/teeth
I think this is referring to the "cogs" or "teeth" of the sprocket. "Body" would be redundant in English.

Tooth body
You have to be careful with patents. The author could be using 歯体 on purpose to differentiate from 歯 being used elsewhere in the patent. If this is the only occurrence of the concept of teeth in the patent, then "teeth" is fine as indicated in the other response. If you are only translating the abstract or a portion of the patent, then you should use "tooth bodies" or "tooth sections".

: "Individual cogs" is more common term than "tooth bodies" if a distinction is needed.
